Chapter 146 - 145: Unpopulated Area_1
Yumen Pass, one of the northwest gateways of the Qin Empire, was built on the edge of a cliff. Its strategic position was perilous; even birds had difficulty flying through it. It was a place where a single defender could hold off ten thousand attackers.
"Hurry, keep up!" Scorpion Shadow led its massive army, preparing for a direct assault on the city.
It looked at the magnificent and imposing city and immediately gave the order to attack. The vast army of over 200,000 surged forward, climbing the city walls. In no time, they stood atop the fortifications.
There was not a shred of resistance!
No enemies blocked their way!
The unexpectedly smooth advance made Scorpion Shadow find it incredible. For a moment, it suspected a trap and dared not advance recklessly. Instead, it hurriedly dispatched hundreds of Scouts to investigate the surroundings.
"General, the army of the Divine Court is coming!" a Scout surveying the rear hurriedly flew over, saluting respectfully.
How could they be so fast? Scorpion Shadow wondered, secretly anxious. When the Scout who had gone to investigate the situation returned, it quickly asked, "What’s the situation? Is there an ambush?"
"Reporting to the Great General, there are no signs of human life within a hundred-mile radius!" the Scout answered respectfully.
"Advance!" Scorpion Shadow let out a sigh of relief, an excited gleam in its eyes. It flew forward, leading the army past Yumen Pass. As for the enemy in the rear, it paid them no heed at all.
In just a few minutes, over 200,000 Scorpion Clan soldiers had vanished into the territory of the Qin Empire, leaving only a devastated border town behind.
